Persons Intending to purchase a
gun OF any kind this fall should not
fail to go to j. b. Reed, Sunbury. 1t
will pay you to 60 to him direct and
see what you are buying. Sending
to wildcat firms for cheap guns Is
buying a cat In the bag every time,
and there are but few instances
where the purchaser was not cheated.
He is now making q speciality Of n
gun that Is parti cularly desirable for
deer hunting, which is one barrel ball
and the other shot-fully described in
his advertisement in the PosT.
Cashier White OF the Philadelphia
Times has confessed to thsfts from
that establishment which may reach
$4,000. 1t was big steal, but the
act In itself was not meaner than the
man who takes q paper regularly to
his home for his family to read and
profit by and then when requested to
pay up throws 10 back and tells the
postmaster to return It to the editor
marked refused" Its not big pump
kins but little grains Of corn that
makes big hogs fat.
The Remove Neps says that on
Tuesday q hak = dozen Of society la.
dies OF that place went bodily to the
river and enjoyed the pleasure OF a
bath in the cool, pure waters Of the
stream, remaining in the water splash
ing and playing for nearly an hour.
There seems to be no good reason
why bathing in the river should not
DO INDUCED In by the ladies as well
as at the seaside resorts. The day Is
probably not far distant when hum
dreds ofladies and gentlemen may be
seen any day during the heated term
bathing In the limpid waters OF the
beautiful Susquehanna.
The Milton Argus, In speaking Of
the Firemen's parade in their town
on the 4th, says "The Cameron Fire
Company, Uewisburg) with its six
grey horses to tho steamer, and finely
disciplined company, came in for n
large share OF admiration. They
also deserve mention for the fact that
they kept tho Mlddlsburgh Band,
noted for its fine playing, from Sunday
until Monday in order to insure us u
full day Of their presence" To this
complement to the Cameron Fire
Company we would add that the
Middleburgh Band was not only
proud OF the services they were per
nnittsd to render the company bat
delighted with the treatment they
received from them while in their
service.
The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
thinks it is plain as anything can be
that the tax on household furniture,
pleasure carriages and watches will
not be collected in the several coun-
ties, because there is no law to en-
forces collection. The revenue com
missicners may Insist upon its col
lection" for the purpose Of putting
the county commissioners at a disad.
vantage in settling an open account
}. with the state, but 1t can conceive OF
no other reason for their singular ac-
ton. They are certainly not justified
In placing AN absurd construction on
the lsttar Of the secretary OF internal
affairs and asking county commission
ers to do an act declared illegal by the
highest legal authority in the state.
